Shawna Murphy: "The solidarity out here and the practice of compassion that's been happening. There are bridges being built here that I've never seen being built.

Kali Cichon: "How much I want to do after this is over. I've become aware of so many issues, especially homelessness and mental illness outreach. I want to be involved after all this is over...its the lastingness of the experience."
